Other Specifications
Body
For ease of playing, the body is as thin as possible without interfering with performance.
Reeds
Made with Tombo's proprietary blend of materials. Drawing on years of experience, each reed is designed to be optimal for each key. Tuning and adjustment are performed by skilled craftsmen certified by Mr. Iwasaki. Reeds are attached using a highly resonant riveting method, and the torque for each note is carefully adjusted, resulting in even more stable pitch.

Tone
The tremolo is tuned modestly to allow for classical, emotional expression while maintaining the beautiful tone unique to the chromatic harmonica. With microphone use in mind, the agimi (reed curvature) has been adjusted low to allow for beautiful pianissimo expression, and the instrument responds well even to weaker breaths, making fast passages easy to play.
*Blowing too hard may cause the sound to become muffled.

The cover was selected by Iwasaki for its shape, which he found to be the easiest to play. It is nickel-chrome plated and made of brass, which is ideal for producing a soft tone. The overall cover is thin, making it easy to play, even for women.
